OpenAI and Spotify integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for OpenAI and Spotify and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable AI, Langchain, and Miscellaneous workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect OpenAI and Spotify

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure OpenAI and Spotify nodes

You can find OpenAI and Spotify in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure OpenAI and Spotify nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect OpenAI and Spotify

A connection establishes a link between OpenAI and Spotify (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your OpenAI and Spotify integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect OpenAI and Spotify with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your OpenAI and Spotify workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from OpenAI to Spotify or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Telegram to Spotify with OpenAI

Search music and play to Spotify from Telegram

This workflow is a simple demonstration on accessing a message model from Telegram and it makes searching for songs an easy task even if you can't remember the artist or song name.
An OpenAI message model tries to figure out the song and sends it to an active Spotify device**.

Use case
Imagine an office where you play music in the background and the employees can control the music without having to login to the playing account.

How it works

  • You describe the song in Telegram.
  • Telegram bot sends the text to n8n.
  • An OpenAI message model tries to find the song.
  • Spotify gets the search query string.
  • First match is then added to queue.
    -- If there is no match a message is sent to Telegram and the process ends.
  • We change to the next track in the list.
  • We make sure the song starts playing by trying to resume.
  • We fetch the currently playing track.
  • We return "now playing" information to Telegram: Song Name - Artist Name - Album Name.

Error handling

  • Every Spotify step has it's on error handler under settings where we output the error.
  • Message parser receives the error and sends it to Telegram.

Requirements

  • Active workflow*
  • OpenAI API key
  • Telegram bot
  • Spotify account and Oauth2 API
  • Spotify active on a device**

.* The Telegram trigger is activated only if this workflow is active. You can however TEST the workflow in the editor by clicking "Test step" and then it waits for the Telegram event. When event is received, just step through all steps or just clicking "Test step" on the "Fetch Now Playing" node.

.** You must have a Spotify device active when trying to communicate with a device. Open Spotify and play something - not it is active.
